Very nice!
Similar to my favourite M2/ 35mm Nokton/ Neopan 400 combination! ;)

That's a very nice combination ! :cool: How to fit a Millennium Nikkor to a M3 ? Is there an adapte required ?

Adapter is from Amedeo. He sells them on ebay, and sometimes posts here.

My kind of first Leica, I bought a screw mount to learn meterless exposure, but returned it in a day to get this due to the RF being completely fouled.

i got my M2 back finally! i was so exited i immediately loaded some trix and shot it within an hour of ups arriving.

they overhauled the interior, changed the flash ports to normal ones, and overhauled the lens, it had dust inside and was stiff to focus. they stole the strap rings though...


oh and they recovered the skin or whatever it was that was peeling off. its so smooth now! my M4 cannot compare! the viewfinder is now outstanding.

good as new :)
 

This one came back today from Youxin Ye and Robert Jagtisch (CLA and repaint).:D Sorry abut the wide open approach. :eek:

nice you got yours too. looks great without the red dot. my M4-P should get a CLA too, but one at a time! or i would be broke! Mine wants the MP type shutter advance arm, and the viewfinder flare fix upgrade. essex doesnt offer that service, so i prabably have to send it to Sherry Krauter.

Nice! My M3 was rejected because it was too nice looking :) Robert was great to email back and forth, and I'll find another M3/2 so I can have a black one too!

Can you post some more pictures?--the top and back?

Looks good ! (... even without the red dot :eek:)

Is the rewind crank from a Leicaflex SL or M4 ? It looks different to my - standard - M4-P ...

Can you just switch those advance levers yourself or would you have to send the camera in?

And btw, I _love the one with the rapid advance thingy and the black M with the chrome style base plate.

martin

Yes you can switch it yourself. It takes about 10 seconds with the right tool.

Hmm ok then that was just "wishful thinking" I guess.....I`m not used to CLA/Repairs on M and what they cost etc.

Youxin Ye has done all the IIIC`s I have had done in the past, and the price was alot cheaper, so I will just have to ship it out via DAG or Sherry, I guess since it`s a business camera, I better not shortchange myself :) - Thanks!

Black M3's. Beauties. I'm new to M's--are these repaints? Shintaro? Robert? I've seriously considered having mine painted black.

Just got back from CLA at Kindermann.

shot with M8+135 Elmarit (w/ uvir)

After 12 years of using an M6 for personal work I finally did it: instead of going digital I bought an MP, jippeeeehh!!!, wich will hopefully stay with me for years to come. I always longed for a chrome one, having a black M6, but this little gem was only three months old and reasonably priced.

I just love these cameras, they are a joy to use!
Cheers....

My Leica collection

i finally took the plunge and got an m2 :)

along with the canon 35/2 and 50/1.4 it has been my best friend of late :)

Excellent !! :) I have sold my 35/2.0 black last year but still use a 50/1.4 and the M2 simply rocks !

M4 with Elmar M

well,
that's a good idea

historicist, Martin, that are two pretty cool shots ! :cool: However, I like the one from historicist better because of the Japanese book in the background .... ( Leica lens no ... ) :D

@ historicist: You had an M4-P, before the M4 ? (I remember a photo of yours at flicker taken in Sendai ... )

martin-f5 - aah, the Berlin to Bavaria Thinkpad connection! Lovely camera!

maddoc - yes, I sold the m4p when I found the m4 for a good price (you can see why...). I prefer the chrome look and the rangefinder isn't as prone to flare.

M6 with 40/2 Rokkor, both bought on RFF this year. Leicagoodies stash on the strap, S&W 40.5mm metal hood. Best $1337.42 I ever spent. I am now digitaless, except for my cell phone.

Cheers,

I would rather have taken a black pencil instead and filled up the lettering in stead of scratching off the white, since by doing so you decreased the cameras value....

Oh no! Benny! Your camera is broken! It looks like someone who didn't know what he was doing had taken it apart and put it together all wrong... shutter and viewfinder on the bottom, lugs in wrong place, and so on. Tell you what, I'll give you a hundred bucks for it, as is. :D

That's fine--the camera is for shooting, not collecting or reselling :)

No wonder I looked like a confused monkey trying to focus with my right middle finger and and trigger the shutter with my left thumb!! :bang:

Cheers,

So you are saying that the camera is unshootable with black pencil filling?

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying. :rolleyes:
